The Chakra Bench is a striking homage to the journeys and stories that have shaped the Indian landscape. Inspired by the bullock carts and wooden wagons that once traversed the dusty roads of Kerala’s villages, this bench transforms a symbol of movement into a place of rest and reflection. Crafted from solid wood with a weathered, vintage finish, the Chakra Bench is both a work of art and a piece of living history. The most captivating feature is its pair of full-sized wagon wheels, which form the sides and anchor the bench in a sense of rustic adventure. The backrest, adorned with intricate hand-carved motifs, recalls the grandeur of Kerala’s palatial woodwork, while the seat and lower panel are constructed from interlocking wooden blocks, echoing the sturdy construction of traditional carts. Every detail of the Chakra Bench tells a story—from the swirling patterns of the crest to the timeworn texture of the wheels. Whether placed in a garden, a verandah, or a heritage-themed interior, this bench invites you to pause, reminisce, and celebrate the journeys—both literal and metaphorical—that bring us home.
Each component reflects a story of devotion, culture, and skilled hands
The sides of the bench are formed by two full-sized wooden wagon wheels, each spoke and hub meticulously crafted to evoke the spirit of rural travel. These wheels are not just supports—they are a tribute to the journeys of generations past, symbolizing movement, resilience, and the cycles of life. Their weathered finish adds authenticity and rustic charm, making the Chakra Bench a true statement piece.
The backrest, known as the Yatra Crest, is crowned with elaborate hand-carved motifs inspired by Kerala’s temple and palace architecture. “Yatra” means journey, and this crest is a celebration of the stories and traditions that accompany every traveler. The lower portion of the backrest features interlocking wooden blocks, providing both comfort and a visual echo of the sturdy carts that inspired the design.
The seat, called the Patha Plank, is constructed from wide, solid wooden planks, offering a firm and comfortable place to rest. “Patha” means path or road, reflecting the bench’s inspiration and inviting you to pause along your own journey. The natural grain and weathered finish of the wood add character and warmth, making every seat unique.
The armrests, named Dhwani (meaning “echo” or “resonance”), are shaped to follow the gentle curve of the wheels, providing both support and a sense of continuity. Their smooth, rounded form is comfortable to the touch and visually ties the entire bench together, echoing the endless cycles of the wheel.
The base supports, or Moola (meaning “foundation” or “root”), are sturdy wooden feet that ensure the bench remains stable on any surface. Their simple, functional design grounds the bench in both tradition and practicality, allowing it to be enjoyed indoors or out.
From sleek, modern designs that exude contemporary elegance to timeless classics that evoke warmth and nostalgia, our curated selection has something for every taste and lifestyle. Each piece is crafted with precision and care, ensuring both quality and durability.
